Room was in good condition however it’s very smaller than it looks in pictures. Basically it’s one person bed. In bathroom, wash basin has no hot water in whole stay, though I informed the manager but nothing was done to fix it. Also room had no heating and it was cold specially in night because it was month of January. Staff was friendly and pleasant. Location is also good.

Clean room, friendly staff. Breakfast was tasty. I booked the hammam/massage there and i really enjoyed it. The staff were very friendly and willing to help. The location was perfect, only 15 mins walk away from Jemaa El Fenaa.
Overall i would book this riad again.

The spa and massage was violating.
Our massage experience was far from what we expected. When we entered we were told to just get naked and put on panties, which was fine, we were not given any robes or towels or directions on what to do next, we stood naked in a small room waiting for their return which we had to then open the terrace door and tell them okay we are ready. Then we were put into the sauna and washed down. After we were told to relax in the sauna and all we could hear was laughter and talking that did not allow us to relax at all. When we were finished with the “sauna” we were told to step into the massage room where two tables were set up so tightly we were barely able to exit the sauna. Once we laid on the tables the space was so cramped we were constantly being bumped and moved during our massage. When we were being massaged one masseuse made an out going phone call which we both heard the outgoing call sound. This happened twice. A few minutes after we heard the outgoing call being made we heard a male voice on a phone call while we were being massaged, and to mention while we heard that outgoing phone call being made, only one hand was being used for the massage. So it was very obvious the other hand was occupied with the phone. We both felt as if we were either being recorded or we were being showed on FaceTime. We cannot confirm as we were face down and too uncomfortable to look to see what was going on. But regardless of what was going on there should n

Samir, Soulane, Mustapha, and Jaafar made us stay extra pleasant. This city was amazing, and I'm glad that I chose this riad. They help us a lot, they were very extra nice with my family and me, it was a great time. This gentleman's help us with everything that we need. If I come back to Marrakesh, I will definitely stay here again.

The riad is beyond stunning, relaxing and every staff made our experience 10/10.
Big shout out to the manager (feel awful now for forgetting his name!) nothing was too big of an ask, helped us understand Marrakesh, where to go etc.
breakfast was lovely, room was beautiful and bed and new towels on most days.
Marrakesh was amazing and Riad Oasis du desert made the trip.
Thank you so much.

My partner and I stayed here our first night in Marrakesh.

The guys at the reception were very friendly. They gave us a full explanation of the surrounding area and a map. After some mint tea to welcome us in, they helped us bring our bags to the rooms.
We didn’t have chance to try the spa services, but they look lovely. Would absolutely stay again. Thanks! :)

Beautiful Riad, however the surrounding area is very tough - taxi can only take you so far and you have to walk in a dangerous alleyway labyrinth to get to the Riad. Staff will gladly pick you up from the taxi drop off limit. There was a mouse in our room and when we complained, they didn’t believe us. Thankfully we had a video to show of it. If you book the spa treatments or any of the excursions they offer/support, there are no options to cancel or postpone according to your day in Marrakech. Overall some things were nice, others weren’t. Zakariya was a 10/10 staff member!

Would come again & book for family/friends

Booked a girls trip to Marrakech to celebrate my birthday and it wouldn't have been nearly as wonderful had we not booked at L'Oriental Medina & Spa!

The staff at this Riad were extremely accommodating and caring, that by the end of the trip they felt like extended family- specifically Elias & Abudl!

As soon as we checked in, Elias gave us an in depth guide of Marrakech on the map, providing us with thorough directions to the Souks & Place Jemma El Fna. Honest recommendations were made on where to go for affordable and good meals, as well as what things or paths to avoid to ensure we did not get scammed.

The whole team really went the extra mile by walking us to certain shops and booking us personal taxis to ensure we were given an honest rate. Even the chef came in an hour early to make us breakfast upon request when we made them aware that we had an excursion before their breakfast start time.

We came as a group of three girls and shared one room, but not once did we feel it was too small. Both our double and single bed were extremely comfortable; and the sheets, towels and toiletries were changed every day.
While we did not have treat ourselves to the spa or ate at the Riad for lunch/dinner, we thoroughly enjoyed breakfast as it was different every morning and appeared to be traditional Moroccan dishes. Abdul always greeted us with a smile & poured us the loveliest of teas.

Would recommend this Riad ten times over! Conveniently placed and amazingly run.

Beautiful Riad with great staff! Mohamed was extremely helpful and caring! We had to change some travel plans last minute and they were very accommodating with our schedules.
Only thing is that you have to go through a few small darker alleys to get to the riad entrance which was sometimes uncomfortable late at night, but once you’re there it feels completely safe and welcoming.

Just OK

The overall stay was ok but to find it was very tricky, in a strange location.
The pictures online looked much better than what it really was.
The property and rooms were clean and the staff were quite friendly.
The one problem I had which I’m not sure was the hotel or hotels.coms problem… when I booked the two rooms they were supposed to have 2 beds in each room and that was not the case which was inconvenient and not what I paid for

Beautiful property w/ great service

As with most Riads inside the Medina, you will need to walk w/ your luggage for a few hundred yards as taxis can't drive to the door.

However, once inside, the service was excellent and the quality was top-notch. The rooftop restaurant was a nice surprise. Breakfast and dinner were both excellent.

The staff were so friendly and attentive. They sat us down and went over an introduction to Marrakesh using a map on our arrival (accompanied by mint tea and cake) which meant that the complex city made so much more sense. The guy who brought our breakfast remembered our drinks orders each morning, which was lovely.
The hotel was beautiful and the rooms were very clean.
It was difficult to find (we had to resort to GPS) as it isn't well signed and is on a small, unnamed street.

The hotel staff is amazing and nothing bad to say about the Riad itself. The area isn’t the safest for 2 females traveling. Taxis and cars can’t come all the way and then you have to walk about 5 minutes. However the staff walked us to our taxi and took us back!

This place is super amazing! From the staffs to the food and the design of this riad, truly had a wonderful experience! I like the room I’ve stayed at. The bed and the pillows are super comfortable! I wish I can stay longer. Location wise, it’s about 15-20mins walk from jemaa el fnaa. Special mention to the staffs at the front desk, Adil and Hamaz, thank you so much for your help! I had a bad experience on my first night at a differend riad and also got scammed by people in the medina but you guys made me feel safe in this place. I also would like to thank the server, Imad!

Absolutely perfect! By far this was one of the best Riads we stayed at in Morocco. It is a bit difficult to find, maybe ask for a porter to meet you upon arriving from your Taxi. We had a great dinner and breakfast. Room was lovely, and such a friendly staff. I did a hammam, and it was very private and relaxing. The streets close by can be busy, but once you make your way inside you feel like you are in another world. So quite and lovely, would definitely recommend!

Beautifully decorated Riad in the old Medina

It is a beautifully decorated Riad located in a very narrow street in the old Medina. No vehicle can be parked outside the Riad, so you have to walk 10 min to catch a taxi. The Riad can arrange vehicle transfer for you in a much higher amount than just catching a taxi on the street (double the taxi fare), but the arranged-vehicle will be parked much closer to the Riad (about 4 min walk). This Riad is full of Chinese people as the Riad manager said it is quite popular in China. There is a very small 'pool' in the middle of G/F and the size of the 'pool' is just slightly larger than a fountain, so I don't think anyone will swim in the pool. There is no lift in the Riad but the hotel staffs will carry your luggage for you upstairs. The hotel provided welcome drinks (mint tea) and biscuits for you. The hotel staffs (especially the manager) were friendly and helpful, the manager speaks English well. We stayed for 4 nights and the hotel provided different breads / cakes as breakfast for us everyday so we wouldn't get bored. The breakfast tasted nice. The Riad located in a very quite area, you won't even hear any mosque announcement. Some negative sides of this Riad: 1/ There are many ants in the room. 2/ There is no shower door, you may need to take this into account if you are going with a friend. 3/ The water pressure of the shower head was very little 2 nights out of our stay. 4/ The room is quite small, just managed to open two luggage in the double room.

Nice riad

This is a nice little riad in the middle of a busy market area. A short walk from the taxi stop. Riad staff are welcoming, but the location of this riad is not that great.
Breakfast is ok.. consists of some pastry and cake. no toasts.
Had dinner once, bit dearer. But there are nice places in the centre to eat.
Taxi is readily available, but not that cheap.

L'Oriental

L'Oriental Riad was a quaint stay. We really enjoyed the ambiance of this place in the evenings. Dinner was delicious. I do have to say the rooms are quiet small, but not something that bothered me during the stay. The Riad is a walk away from the souks and a 5-8 minute walk to some of the most trendier restaurants in the souks. I would recommend this Riad to someone who would like to enjoy a more personal stay as staff really make you feel at home.
